Don’t forge the capers. They are not added on the “Weekly Shopping list” and they make this recipe 10x better
So this was odd, I let it sit for 24 hours and it was spicy and sour (lemon), could not just eat it without something. It says ’salad’ is there supposed to be lettuce or anything else to tame the sourness.
[...] Paleo Plan which has lots of recipes. I picked the Shrimp Avocado Omelet (without the shrimp), Spicy Tuna Salad and Berries with Balsamic Vinegar. I still don’t know what I’m going to have for [...]
I just made this for the first time. This is a great recipe!
It is very versatile in that you can adjust/omit any of the ingredients.
I pretty much followed the recipe, but I didn’t measure much. I just put in amounts that looked about right for my tastes.
I ate some of it with a ripe heirloom tomato. Next meal will be over lettuce. I’m going to add a hardboiled egg to it and see how that works.
And as if the tuna wasn’t fishy enough, I added a few anchovies to my serving.
